ECGD backs sale of Bombardier aircraft to USA
ECGD backs sale of Bombardier aircraft to USA
The UK Government's Export Credits Guarantee Department (ECGD) is backing Bombardier Aerospace for the first time on several multi-million dollar contracts to supply aircraft to two US regional airlines.
ECGD has provided export credit guarantee support on two bank loans worth over US$200 million to Atlantic Southeast Airlines and Comair who will be using the finance to purchase 12 aircraft from Bombardier.
Bombardier's Belfast plant has designed and manufactured fuselage and other aircraft components for the CRJ200 and CRJ700 regional jets. The 12 aircraft – six for Atlantic Southeast Airlines and six for Comair – are part of the Bombardier's ongoing sales programme with these airlines which are subsidiaries of Delta Air Lines.
